There are three entries for Lupinranger #2 up on Aidoru Online, but none of them say "sub" so I'm assuming they're not subbed. If anyone finds a link to the subbed version, please let us know.

I'm gonna watch the unsubbed version on Daily Motion now.

P.S. I downloaded one of the ones on Aidoru Online. It's unsubbed but far superior in quality to the Daily Motion one.

There's a great vehicle chase through Tokyo, ending in Tokyo Bay, early in the episode, with the Lupinrangers in one-person aircraft and the Police Rangers in motor vehicles and Kudo's character does a clever maneuver where she unleashes a buzzsaw from the undercarriage of her plane and slices off a billboard from a building to fall into the street to block the Police Rangers.

P.P.S. Kudo doesn't get to do a lot in this ep., which is mostly action anyway. In addition to the chase I described above, there's a great Zord battle at the end along a wide Tokyo boulevard of the type I NEVER saw when I was in Tokyo:

Kudo's great at perky, happy, joyful, but she needs to work on expressions of grief, anguish and fear.

I watched the first two episodes last night, and that was my reaction, too. Now, this is a silly series, but silly shows generally reward over-acting over subtlety. The camera loves her, though, so she'll probably have plenty of opportunity to grow into the job.

Okay, I've watched episode #5 and I'm getting really disappointed in this series. In most sentai series (actually, pretty much ALL of them), the emphasis is on team dynamics and getting the five members to learn to work together and cooperate and put ego and emotion aside and learn teamwork and humility and such. We don't get that here. We have two opposing groups of three Rangers each and they're in constant conflict, so there's little opportunity for character development. They each want the same thing (the Lupin artifacts) and the police rangers get angry when the Lupinrangers outwit them. That's about it. As a result, poor Kudo gets very little to do. I hope it changes as the series progresses. I hope they realize how they're wasting such great potential and make changes. It wouldn't be the first time a sentai series has changed direction midway through.

Kudo was the focus of yesterday’s episode (#7) and she more than meets the demands of it. She has a big dramatic scene, complete with tears, and she nails it. She also does some stunts (and it’s really her out of her Lupinranger costume) and seems to come out unscathed. Funnily enough, I had a dream last night, before seeing this episode, in which I was having a conversation with Kudo in English and trying to give her constructive feedback about her acting. She was somewhat skeptical. I woke up just as I was about to make my main point. Turns out she didn’t need my advice after all.

I did see episode 9 in my Tokyo hotel room. It had a French woman as the main guest character. I have some catching up to do. I didn't see #8 because I had to go to Yokohama for HinaFest that morning. In fact, I got there so early I went a few stops more so I could search for Paty's Cafe, the Yokohama shop used as the exterior of the Lupine Cafe in the show. I got lost and never found it and had to get back to Pacifico Yokohama for the concert.

I just downloaded eps. 8, 9, 10 and 11, but I'm still getting them unsubbed from Aidoru OnLine. Anyone have links to subbed eps.?

Thanks.

Overtime Subs gets them upped usually within a day. I'm able to download them by Sunday night.
